Description

The Lomasney Collection consists of over 800 hand-painted film
posters originally displayed in the The Royal Hawaiian Theater in
Honolulu from 1930-1980s. Painted by artist John J. Lomasney, and
spanning 50 years of cinematic history, the posters were called a
"treasure trove of art" by the New York Post. The Lomasney
Collection was acquired by tennis legend John McEnroe and displayed
in his Soho, NYC gallery. Mr. McEnroe donated this astounding
collection to Lifebeat, Music Fights HIV/AIDS to support their HIV
prevention efforts.

Each large-scale piece is completely unique and painted in gouache
on 44 x 28-inch artboard. Many incorporate original studio film
stills. These one-of-a-kind works of art are available to
collectors and movie buffs alike in online auctions.

This auction opens on September 4, 2014 10PM CT and will close on

While I regret my inability to personally view the work, you provided an excellent substitute for my not being able to do so, and I look forward to future Heritage auctions.
